Book Editing Services
- Professional manuscript editing for character development, narrative and plot structure, pacing, point of view, tone of voice, grammar, and more.
- Each book editing service comes directly from an editing professional with inline comments on the manuscript as well as a detailed report to get a big picture idea of the main critique points, summarizing the feedback, and going into further detail to help guide as you work through the edits.
I don't know about this...
Handing your precious manuscript over to a stranger to critique is like tearing out your heart and serving it up with a knife on a platter, right?
As a self-published author myself, I know that feeling so well. I also know that once you take that plunge to share your work, the feedback that you get from copy editing services should not bring you down, but help your writing grow and will allow you to further develop your writing technique. We are all learning. None of us are perfect.
If you have hit that wall where you just cannot keep making changes until you get some affordable book editing (been there!) then this is 100% for you.
